We live in a pretty basic bungalow home with only one bathroom. I want to install a basement toilet and sink. As there is a utility sink I the basement, the most important part is the toilet. The space s super tight, so any horizontal bends would make it near impossible. I am trying to avoid bends and line up a perfect straight shot.

I made a diagram of plumbing for the house and added a few photos. The only place I think a toilet would physically fit is about 8 feet from the 4" Clean Out cap. This cap is 10" on center off the ground. I have the ability to completely do the plumbing and then recreate the wall as it's just a basement retreat, so not real construction constraints beyond just a small amount of space.
Here are things I wonder about, but I bet there’s more I haven’t even considered so appreciate any advice. Also I have zero ego here, so feel free to let me know I am crazy or likely to destroy our house.


Thanks again for any advice! Andy

Water flows downhill. A rear outlet toilet drains at 4" above the floor. If you don't have that, then it needs to be pumped.

I had a problem in a Condo in Manhattan where a toilet had to be a back outlet and had the floor raised high enough for the toilet as bottom outlet was not an option

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
